Surgical Research at Rikshospitalet, Oslo, Norway,
Abstract
The major program of the Institute of Surgical Research concerns the role of plasma kinins and other vasoactive peptides in producing the systemic features of peritonitis, pancreatitis, and other septic states. Studies to data suggest that the vasoactive materials cause hypotension by releasing histamine from tissue mast cells. Current evaluation of a new fibrinolytic agent shows promise for the treatment of vascular thrombosis with direct and embolic occulsion. (Author)
